STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE
Starting the engine
Turn the ignition key to the “Ignition on”
position M and hold this position until
the engine preheating warning light
É goes out.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key to
the “Stop” position St.
Starting the vehicle
For rear-wheel drive versions on
level ground, with the vehicle un-
laden, we recommend that you start
in second gear.
Never switch off the igni-
tion before the vehicle has
stopped completely. Once
the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as air bags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Never start your vehicle
while freewheeling on a
gradient. Risk of non-acti-
vation of power-assisted
steering.
There is a risk of accidents.
Depending on the vehicle, if a gear is
engaged, the message “Depress clutch
+ start” is displayed on the instrument
panel. Press the clutch pedal.
Turn the key to starter position D with-
out depressing the accelerator
pedal.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.

Before leaving the vehicle,
the engine must be stopped
and not put on standby
(please see the information
on “Starting, stopping the engine” in
Section 2).
Special feature of the automatic
engine re-start
Under certain conditions, the engine
can restart on its own in order to guar-
antee your safety and comfort.
This can occur especially when:
– the outdoor temperature is too low or too high (less than around 0 °C or
higher than around 35 °C);
– the “Clear View” function is activated (please see “Automatic Climate
Control” in Section 3);
– the battery is not sufficiently charged;
– the vehicle speed is above 7 km/h (downhill slope, etc.);
– repeated pressing on the brake pedal or braking system require-
ment;
– on vehicles fitted with a manual gear- box, engine restarting may be inter-
rupted if the clutch pedal is released
too quickly while a gear is engaged;
– ...

2.7
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– make sure that the battery is always fully charged;
– always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to prevent water vapour
condensing in it and accumulating at
the bottom of the tank.
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump with an electronic regulator
which prevents overrevving of the
engine irrespective of the gear en-
gaged.
If the
Ä and © warning lights
come on, consult an approved dealer
as soon as possible.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
You may start the engine normally after
refilling the fuel tank even if you have
completely run out of fuel, provided
that the battery is fully charged.
However, if the engine does not start
after a few seconds and several at-
tempts, refer to the information on the
“Fuel tank” in Section 1.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.

2.12
MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life, which entered
into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac-
turer is actively striving to reduce pol-
lutant exhaust gas emissions and to
save energy. But the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main-
tained and used correctly.Maintenance
It is important to remember that failure to
respect antipollution regulations could
lead to legal action being taken against
the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu-
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– Air filter, diesel filter: a choked el-
ement will reduce efficiency. It must
be replaced.
– Idle speed: this does not require ad- justment.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Refer to the information on
«Additive tank» in Section 1.

2.13
ENVIRONMENT
Emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)
while in use, and therefore to consume
less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to
5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a cata-
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter pre-
vents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too
– Worn parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (vehi-
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter-
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations. – At the end of the vehicle’s service
life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis- lation.
Recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re-
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu-
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of
the manufacturer eco² signature.Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
a factory which complies with a policy
to reduce the environmental impact
on the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and energy consumption, visual
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste).

Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK ESC” and
warning light
© and  appear
on the instrument panel. In this case,
the ESC and traction control system
are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Electronic stability program
(ESC) with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
 flashes on the instrument panel.
DRIVING CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/8)
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
The functions do not take the place
of the driver. They do not increase
the vehicle’s limits and should
not encourage you to drive more
quickly. Therefore, they can under
no circumstances replace the vigi-
lance or responsibility of the driver
when manoeuvring the vehicle (the
driver must always be ready for
sudden incidents which may occur
when driving).

2.21
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (6/8)
Active emergency braking
Limitation of the system operation
– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert\
or any action on the system operation.
– The sensor area should be kept clean and free of any modifications in or\
der to ensure the proper operation of the system.
– The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycl\
es as effectively as to other vehicles.
Deactivating the function
You must disable the function if:
– the brake lights are not functioning;
– the front of the vehicle has undergone an impact or been damaged;
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns).
Halting the function
You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accel\
erator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in an
avoidance manoeuvre.
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

2.22
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (7/8)
Grip control
If fitted on the vehicle, grip control
makes it easier to control the vehicle on
low grip surfaces (soft ground, etc.).“Soft ground” mode
Press switch
5: the message
“VARIABLEHIGHWAY MODE” lights up
on the instrument panel, accompanied
by the warning light
\b, depending
on the vehicle.
This position enables optimal usage on
soft ground (mud, sand, dead leaves,
etc.). In this position, engine speed is left
under the driver’s control. The system
automatically switches to “Road” mode
at speeds above about 31 mph
(50 km/h). The message “STANDARD
HIGHWAY MODE” is displayed on the
instrument panel and depending on the
vehicle, the
\b warning light on the
instrument panel goes out.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
The functions do not take the place
of the driver. They do not increase
the vehicle’s limits and should
not encourage you to drive more
quickly. Therefore, they can under
no circumstances replace the vigi-
lance or responsibility of the driver
when manoeuvring the vehicle (the
driver must always be ready for
sudden incidents which may occur
when driving).
“Road” mode
When the vehicle starts, the
“STANDARD HIGHWAY MODE” mes-
sage is displayed on the instrument
panel. Depending on the vehicle the
warning light
\b on the instrument
panel is out.
This position enables optimal usage
under normal driving conditions (dry-
ness, humidity, light snow, etc.).
“Road” mode uses traction control func-
tions.

Tyres
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the vehicle should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by your approved
dealer.
